 The Dordogne Deception   by   Sherry Joyce

 Imagine that you are an aspiring author on an exciting holiday in  France...you know that there is a book is inside of you just dying to get  out, but you have yet to experience that magic something to  begin your novel.  Suddenly, here in the beautiful and mysterious Château de Rouffillac, a bolt  of lightning, literally, gives you the inspiration for the perfect setting  and the perfect story!

 That's what happened to Sherry Joyce.  On a stormy night,  while she was a guest at Rouffillac, lightning struck the  château.  The Dordogne
Deception was born ~ the  story of an American divorcée who leaves
her career and life behind to buy a  château in France ~ Château Roufillay in the book ~ where she begins a new  life as the châtelaine operating a
luxury bed and breakfast.   She is soon swept off her feet by a charming
Frenchman with a shady past who  is a guest at her château, while also becoming entangled in an unsolved crime  whose string of clues led a British detective to her doorstep at  Roufillay.  Her once calm and ordinary life in America takes on twists  and turns in France and becomes quite dangerous when she no longer knows who  she can trust. 

The author does an extraordinary job of bringing  readers into the unique atmosphere of the ancient château.  Early  reviews are very positive with readers commenting on the well-written  descriptions of the château, the countryside and how well the author built the  characters and story line.  Many said they couldn't put it down!   Madame Isabelle Grassé, the actual owner of the château, is quite excited  about the book and pleased that her château the centerpiece of this novel.

If you've stayed at Château de Rouffillac, a  member of au Château for many years, this novel may  hold a special meaning for you.  If you haven't been a guest there, you  might want to change that and make a reservation. Send us an email for information  and availability.
